If you believe on the disclosed specifications, the new card is based on the layout of the Maxwell GM200 with 3072 CUDA cores and 96 ROPs – so we can say around 50% more than the Maxwell GM204 GPU used in the GeForce GTX 980. In addition, the VRAM on board is up to 12 GB of GDDR5 memory with 384-bit interface. Running at 988 MHz core clock and 6600MHz memory frequency.

There is no doubt it is true Quadro accelerators which has been designed for the professional use, but the graphics processor is usually also used in the construction of the other series. In this case, the Maxwell GM200 core will probably also used in the model of GeForce GTX 980 Ti, and the number of units may indicate a significant increase in performance with respect to the current leader of the GeForce GTX 980 (though obviously not at the level of 50%). Some alleged specifications of NVIDIA Quadro M6000 in compression of NVIDIA Quadro K6000.
